iPhone ribbon cable latch housing broken

I was a dumb idiot and while repairing my iPhones sensor cable I snapped (shattered) the housing for the ribbon cable. all the connecting wires are still intact but the greyish covering is considerably missing. now it starts up but I can't do any sensor activities like screen going off during calls and adjusting brightness. My screen goes white when I press the sleep button.

Just a few questions...

Is the screen whiteness due to the sensor cable?
Is the accelerometer attached to the same sensor cable as the prox and brightness sensors?
Does anyone have some helpful tips for me (like where to get the part)

I sold my iphone 16gig 3g online without an lcd, cracked digitizer for 150 bux there are alot of people looking for parts that have the repair parts in bulk that can turn around the phone and sell it for double unlocked.
